WEBVTT SNOW WILL -- A SNOWBLOWER LAID A KEY ROLE IN A NOR'EASTER RESCUE. A LOCAL COUPLE TAKING ON THE ROLE OF FIRST RESPONDERS AND LIFESAVERS. A MAN NEEDED TO GET TO THE AMBULANCE FAST. THAT IS WHEN HIS NEIGHBORS TOOK ACTION. AN OLD SNOWBLOWER. THIS SNOWBLOWER HELPS THE DUXBURY COUPLE CLEAR THE WAY SO EMERGENCY CREWS COULD GET TO THEIR ELDERLY -- AILING NEIGHBOR SNOWDEN AFTER THE NOR'EASTER. SO PEOPLE DON'T SLIP AND FALL. LARRY KING FELL ILL INSIDE HIS HOME. HE WOKE ME UP SAYING, MY HEART HAS BEEN RACING FOR THE LAST HOUR. I'M FEELING NAUSEOUS, FEELING LIGHTHEADED. HE HAD A HEART ATTACK ABOUT SIX YEARS AGO. THEY CALLED 911 JUST AS MIKE AND TERRY CURLEY WERE CLEARING SNOW FROM THEIR OWN DRIVEWAY. THE FIRST POLICE OFFICER TO ARRIVE ASKED THEM TO BRING THEIR SNOWBLOWER. YOU CAN SEE HOW MUCH SNOW WE ARE TALKING ABOUT. THE PATH TO THE FRONT DOOR HAS NOT BEEN CLEARED YET. THEY WENT PAST THE DRIVEWAY, REMOVING 14 INCHES OF SNOW, MAKING IT EASY FOR THEM TO GET IN THROUGH THE SIDE DOOR. MIKE CURLEY DID IT ALL WITH A WALKING BOOT ON HIS FOOT WHALING -- WHILE HIS WIFE SWEPT. HAD THEY NOT, THE CREWS WOULD HAVE TO SHOVEL A PATH THEMSELVES, WASTING PRECIOUS MINUTES. IT WOULD HAVE TAKEN US THAT MUCH LONGER. THE PATIENT MADE IT TO THE HOSPITAL AND IS OK. HIS SON IS HELPFUL FOR THE HELPING HAND. I KNOW THEY ARE THERE TO HELP WITHOUT -- TO LOOK OUT FOR US. THEY ARE GOOD NEIGHBORS. IT IS JUST WHAT YOU SHOULD DO
